Peng Zu invents Peng Zu Qigong Fitness Method —— Introduction in Pengcheng more than 4000 years ago. Professor Zhang Shikui of Xuzhou Normal University published his research achievement "Qigong and Science" (the first issue 1986) after years of textual research and research on this conclusion. At that time, the author interviewed Mr. Zhang Shikui and wrote a special news "Peng Zu is the originator of Qigong, Pengcheng is the birthplace of Qigong". China newspapers and other domestic media reprinted the news. China Qigong Science Research Association, the highest authority in the field of Qigong in China, published this news in a prominent position on the front page of its periodical. Since then, this theory is indisputable in China. This important research result also proves that Pengcheng (Xuzhou) had qigong fitness activities as early as when tribal clans entered the era of settlement and public farming from nomadism, which was the first in China. Peng Zu invented Qigong Guidance in the ancient Xia and Shang Dynasties, which was the earliest prototype of China Wushu. Zhuangzi's Random Thoughts (369 BC-286 BC) is the earliest and most complete written record of Qigong initiated by Peng Zu in China. Zhuangzi described "Peng Zu Qigong Fitness Method" in vivid language. Many unearthed reliefs, murals, portraits, stone carvings and other historical remains also record the images of Peng Zu's ancestors practicing Qigong. This fully proves that "Wushu is interrelated or permeated with China's ancient philosophy, military science, pedagogy, medicine, aesthetics and colorful fitness techniques" (History of Wushu in China).
Qigong guidance, initiated by Peng Zu, is an ancient fitness technique in China, which "draws air to make harmony, pulls the body to make softness". It organically combines static exercise (breathing exercise) with dynamic exercise (body exercise), which is an effective physical activity for the ancestors of Da Peng. Commenting on the deliberate article, Mr. Chen Guying, a scholar in Taiwan Province Province, China, wrote: "(Introduction) This is a kind of aerobics, which describes a movement in which a bear hangs its neck and a bird stretches". This "aerobics" is the original form of China Wushu. For thousands of years, Peng Zu's introduction has played a great role in getting rid of diseases, prolonging life and strengthening the body. Later martial arts techniques and routines such as Wuqinxi, Yijinjing, Baduanjin and Tai Ji Chuan all evolved from this.
From this perspective, Peng Zu's Introduction to Qigong is undoubtedly the embryonic form of China Wushu and the cornerstone of Wushu Qigong.
As an effective self-defense and fitness technique in ancient times, Peng Zu Qigong is the source of the development of Wushu culture in China.
